Title: Frontbumper
Post by: rx7ben on October 16, 2008, 09:23:02 AM
I had a little trouble on the m4 they other night. Some :Grrr decided to turn into me in the wet sending me spining on the m4 in rush hour. its destroyed my nearside wing dented the door and completley smashed my very rare Knightsports front bumper.
 
Does anybody no the best place to get hold of some front aftermarket bumpers without spending £800 on a new knightsports one from R.H.D Japan.
 
Cheers

Of course they will if they are at fault then they must pay to return your car to the condition it was before the accident.

Sorry to hear it ... and i think i drove past while you were on the hard shoulder ... i was in the fast lane in traffic and only just caught sight on the front as i passed otherwise would have stoped !!!

ben i know a great bodyshop 5 min from wokingham to get it repaired for a good price . They will probably be able to fix the knightsport front aswell ...... let me know if you want to meet and i can take you down there .
